41.-43. soruları, aşağıdaki parçaya göre cevaplayınız.Life on a submarine may, to many people, sound fascinating. However, it is, in fact, horribly boring. Except for the commanding officers, a day aboard a submarine consists of six hours on duty, six hours off, day after day, for months. This being the case, every effort is made to ensure that the lives of the men are as pleasant as possible. The meals are exceptionally good, and there is a daily film, shown at a specific time, on television around the submarine. In return, the crew is always expected to perform perfectly all the time. A mistake is quite unforgivable. In fact, a favourite saying is “There’s room for everything on a submarine except for a mistake”.41.

44.-46. soruları, aşağıdaki parçaya göre cevaplayınız.As Orson Welles said: “to practise his art, a poet needs a pen, and a painter a brush. But a film-maker needs an army of actors, actresses and support- staff”. Orson Welles learned the hard way that all this costs a fortune. Few film directors are rich enough to finance their own films, and even fewer have the desire to take such a risk. Therefore, directors are dependent on film studios for the financing of their films. This has caused a certain tension between directors and film studios because film studios use their money to try to control the films they finance. If a film, while it is being made, starts to become too expensive, the studio has to make a choice: it must either cancel the making of the film and lose all the money already invested in it, or go on investing heavily and hope the film will really be a great success.44. It is suggested in the passage that film-making —-.
? involves a series of problems, one of which is the casting of actors and actresses
? aims at making a good profit rather than giving entertainment
? is an industry which is almost always financially successful
? is a business which depends more on finance than on talent
? is extremely expensive when compared with other forms of art

According to the passage, film studios and directors often disagree —-.
? over the choice and number of actors, actresses and support-staff for each film
? over whether a film is likely to succeed and make a profit
? since each is always dependent upon the other for success
? even though there is no financial problem facing them
? because a studio won’t always allow a director to do what he wants to do

47.-49. soruları, aşağıdaki parçaya göre cevaplayınız.Some 130 million years ago, a spike-backed dinosaur walked heavily through the wilderness of what came to be Australia, and left its footprints as a gift for the future. They were the world’s best impressions of a dinosaur’s two-ton footfalls. When they were found seven years ago in a remote valley in northern Australia, they provided scientists with the first clear evidence that dinosaurs had lived in Australia. This discovery provided further evidence for the theory that Australia was once joined to a vast super-continent that included what is now South America, Africa, India and Antarctica.47. It is clear from the passage that, millions of years ago, Australia —-.
? was for the most part a wilderness where no living being could survive
? was, for the first time, inhabited by a large variety of dinosaurs
? was almost certainly not, as it is today, a separate continent
? with its geography and climate resembled South America and Africa
? was undoubtedly the only suitable place in the world for the survival of dinosaurs
Some 130 million years ago, a spike-backed dinosaur walked heavily through the wilderness of what came to be Australia, and left its footprints as a gift for the future. They were the world’s best impressions of a dinosaur’s two-ton footfalls. When they were found seven years ago in a remote valley in northern Australia, they provided scientists with the first clear evidence that dinosaurs had lived in Australia. This discovery provided further evidence for the theory that Australia was once joined to a vast super-continent that included what is now South America, Africa, India and Antarctica.48. The passage makes it clear that the dinosaur footprints discovered in Australia in recent years—-.
? are in surprisingly good condition although millions of years have passed since they were made
? have made scientists revise the most recent theories concerning dinosaurs
? could only have been made by dinosaurs weighing a lot more than two tons
? have little attracted many a scientist interested in the distant past of the continent
? are the same as those also found in South America, Africa, India and Antarctica
Some 130 million years ago, a spike-backed dinosaur walked heavily through the wilderness of what came to be Australia, and left its footprints as a gift for the future. They were the world’s best impressions of a dinosaur’s two-ton footfalls.

This discovery provided further evidence for the theory that Australia was once joined to a vast super-continent that included what is now South America, Africa, India and Antarctica.49. One reason why the discovery in Australia of the dinosaur footprints is so important is that, —-.
? until this discovery, nothing was known about the early climate of this continent
? up to this point, no one knew for sure that dinosaurs could weigh two tons
? previously, no one knew for certain whether this country had ever been inhabited by dinosaurs
? presumably, they will provide clues for future geological changes in this continent
? contrary to the popular view, this continent had always been a vast wilderness
50.-52. soruları, aşağıdaki parçaya göre cevaplayınız.For most people, being a member of a large family is sometimes hard. Usually there isn’t enough money, so everyone has to do without various things. There are, however, certain advantages; in fact, there are probably more advantages than disadvantages.

His sister, perhaps two years younger, carried what looked like the family lunch. The four smaller children also had things to carry. The youngest of them carried a toy bear that was almost as big as herself. The family were catching a bus and looked so contented. I wished I could have gone with them wherever they were going.50.
